Ranch Austin — Attraction in Lakeway

I am the owner of the venue. Here are some recent reviews.

“What a true gem! I personally have never been to a more beautiful venue ever. It has rustic elegance in a picturesque setting. A 5 star rating is not high enough!” – Pesci Wedding

“What a wonderful venue. The wedding could not have been lovelier! Chris and his staff made every part of the evening wonderful. Thank you again”. Leslie Ray

“Beautiful venue that provided a unique setting for our corporate event! Our guests loved being so close to downtown Austin, yet feeling like they were in the Texas Hill Country. Don't let the word "Ranch" fool you. While you do feel like you are on a ranch with green fields, beautiful oak trees, a windmill, longhorns, and no evidence that you are in the city, the building itself is very elegant. One of our engaged employees even left wanting to have her own wedding at Ranch Austin. We loved the fact that hosting our corporate seminar at Ranch Austin rather than a hotel ballroom meant that our catering options were endless. I highly recommend Ranch Austin to anyone wanting to add a special touch to their corporate seminar, client happy hour or other corporate party!”

“I LOVED having my wedding at Ranch Austin. I booked the venue before it was even completed and could not be happier about the outcome! The owner, Chris, was so easy wo work with and incredibly helpful on our wedding day! The venue itself is gorgeous...it has a very nice outdoors, rustic feel while still being elegant and formal enough to make for a beautiful wedding setting. I just cannot think of a single bad thing to say. It was worth every penny...

I cannot say enough great things about Ranch Austin - and more importantly their entire team! From Chris to Katie, to mom and dad - you feel truly part of their family when you walk through the door. The grounds are absolutely spectacular and truly a hidden gem in this crazy city. From the farm feel of the real Longhorns on site, to the multiple wedding location options, brides and grooms truly can make their night both personal and magical! Farm seating under the windmill allowed for some very excellent photo opportunities pre-ceremony for myself. A grooms building was perfect for Daniel to get ready, then grab some great photos as well. We chose to marry outside under the covered stage/alter. A 5:00pm ceremony was truly breathtaking with the twinkle lights, outdoor bar area, and firepit! Inside, the Bridal Suite was simply divine. Complimentary wifi allowed me to take in the small moments with my favorite playlist, enjoy a nice cold beverage with my mom and sister, and give my dad a much appreciated first look to his youngest daughter all dressed up! Having the reception inside could not have gone more smooth. Access to the AC, the outdoor patios, and having enough space to accommodate my 52 guests was absolutely perfect! Drinks, Dancing, Dinner, and Cake all went off with pure wonder! Truly a magical experience where you don't need tons of decorations as the place is truly beautiful by itself! The Team was incredibly responsive to all my crazy bridal questions and they host evening Open Houses which truly sold us on the venue! Job well done Chris and Katie - you made my...

WOW! Ranch Austin is simply amazing! First of all, the property is BEAUTIFUL, complete with longhorns and miniature donkeys that provide a perfect "Classy Texas Ranch" atmosphere. Beyond that, the hospitality of Melissa and Chris is nothing short of incredible. Melissa makes it so easy to ask questions and go back and forth with during your planning process. I promise she will be your most efficient and organized vendor to communicate with! She is kind, responds quickly, and makes everything simpler! Chris was there on the day of our Kentucky Derby party and he set everything up perfectly prior to our arrival! On various occasions throughout the event I also saw him running around helping various vendors however he could due to the weather and ever-changing DJ setup! He worked TIRELESSLY to make everything perfect!! Even beyond that, he spent time with my sister teaching her about the longhorns and letting her feed them! It was one of her favorite memories! I know there are a lot of Dripping Springs venues, but what sealed the deal for us was the value for the space, easy rain back-up plan, being able to have an indoor-outdoor event, built-in outdoor bar, being able to bring in our own alcohol/TABC bartenders, and the "Classy Texas Ranch" feel. Other ranch venues in the area were a little more rustic than we wanted and many of our guests commented on the unique combination of ranch atmosphere and animals, but high quality, gorgeous features. The lights outside are also so special at night! We are so happy that we found Ranch Austin!...
